❚❚ Vibration Reduction (VR)
AF-S DX NIKKOR 16–80mm f/2.8–4E ED VR lenses support
vibration reduction (VR), which reduces blur caused by camera
shake even when the camera is panned, allowing shutter speeds
to be slowed by approximately 4.0 stops. This increases the
range of shutter speeds available and permits hand-held, tripod-
free photography in a wide range of situations. The stated value
of 4.0 stops is based on measurements made in NORMAL mode
according to Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA)
standards; FX-format lenses are assessed using FX-format digital
cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format cameras, and zoom
lenses at maximum zoom.
To use vibration reduction, slide the
vibration reduction switch to ON.
Vibration reduction is activated when the
shutter-release button is pressed
halfway, reducing the effects of camera
shake on the image in the viewfinder and
simplifying the process of framing the
subject and focusing.
